>> In the C1 scalarised entry point we call a runtime stub to allocate objects for buffering the incoming inline types.  The runtime stub returns its result in r0 which is also j_rarg7 and might be holding a live argument value.  To work around this we temporarily move j_rarg7 into r21 which is known to be free at this point and then move it back after the call.  However if a GC occurs during the runtime call and an object held in j_rarg7 is moved, r21 will still be pointing at the old from-space copy after the call returns because it's not recorded in the oop map.  Fix that by having the stub return the object array in r20 and leave r0-r7 untouched.
